Ferenc, You da bomb!
I just wanted to say thank you very much.
You are very kind to do this.

What a great day to learn it.

I'll be snowbound tomorrow, here in the east. NO WORK!

Embarassed Heck here it is 6 day after it is uploaded and I'm down in the shallow end jumping and shouting to go to downloads and check out 'Ewa on the Beach' Embarassed like I just was the first to find it.... Embarassed
Oh well I'll say it here.
Thank you very much Ferenc!

I think this an excellent way to teach. It really worked well for me. I just had to say thanks again and perhaps we could see more in this style of teaching.

nice display ferenc. i guess your kitty doesnt like the chorus much tho

The cat was angry because he doesn't have opposable thumbs and can't play the chorus!
Chugwater- who are you?
Staredge- Thanks for posting the nice comment on the Fender forum! Spread the word.

A late post to this thread - but I've quickly become a PDM / F&TPB fan over the last 3 / 4 months or so. Also a (very) amateur guitarist. I absolutely love Ewa - beautiful song - and, I'm finding, a good song to learn by ear.

Thanks a bunch to Ferenc for taking the time and effort to not only upload the songs to Youtube, and this site - but to also contribute. Very cool. Obviously a result of being passionate about what you're doing. I definitely plan on sticking around here more - I've got a lot to learn...

Over the last year, a few questions about the "Ewa" guitar lesson keep coming up, the two most popular questions are about the 4th verse and the strum pattern. I made a video this morning going over these concerns. chek it out at:

And, the backing track has been reloaded to the downloads section of SG101:

I just don't tire of listening to this wonderful tune.

I found this student project posted on YouTube, check out the song at the end.

And, in other "Ewa" news, I found that the girl in my original Ewa video has a FB page, so I posted a link, and she hit the "Like" button, so, hopefully she has no intentions of suing me.

Haha! That student video is a hoot. Way cool news about Ms. Ewa too.

Ferenc, that sounds different that the studio version of the song - is it or am I imagining things?

And how cool is that they used your song in that video??? Wow! Congratulations!! None of it is surprising, I don't remember another surf song in at least the past decade that I thought was as much of an instant classic as Ewa.

It must be a live version, I hear Danny's acoustic and Karen's keys.

This guy did a GREAT version of "Ewa on the Beach" using the backing track available in the SG101 downloads section.

Cool Ferenc! Hopefully some more exposure for a classic tune!

Very nice! The guy gives it a bit more of a Shadows vibe, but your tone is still miles ahead, Ferenc. Nevertheless, good to see the song getting this (well-deserved) attention!

I agree, he makes a point of saying he didn't need your tutorial video, but IMO he could learn something from the beautiful feel you have. You are being gracious, but still, it really is nice that such a great tune is getting around.

Well, despite his hubris, I noticed he wasn't playing live. (/shade)
Thank you all for your compliments on my playing, but believe me when I say there's nothing more flattering than someone else covering a song you wrote! I love to hear the different expressions other people bring, it's like hearing the melody translated into another language.

A great tune indeed. It's the one I point people to when they want to know about 'modern' surf. And they usually like it.
